Staff members from both buildings practiced the district's reunification plans in case of an emergency causing student evacuation this morning. The trainings were structured similarly to the "I Love You Guys" training method some staff learned last August. As with any training, there were some questions, some things that went well, and some hiccups, but most importantly, a lot of learning.
Reunification can be used for a variety of circumstances like a water main break, gas leak, or even in a snowstorm where buses can't deliver students home requiring them to be brought back to school-so it's important to practice.
We want to thank Blue Earth County Sheriff's Department and Lake Crystal Police Department for their assistance in the drills today and especially our amazing staff for practicing and sharing input for the process!

During the month of the December, the focus was on Respect for Others. These students were nominated by their teachers by demonstrating this important value throughout the month. Respect for others can be seen in many ways - showing kindness, listening, including others, resolving conflicts peacefully, or treating peers and adults with consideration. Congrats to these students!!
